--- title: "(3.0) Explorer (Map)" canonical: "https://support.cordel.ai/space/CSD/3322872625/(3.0)%20Explorer%20(Map)" format: markdown --- > Macro (toc) ## Overview The Explorer page (commonly referred to as “Explorer” or “the Map”) is usually the landing page for users when they first login to the platform. Explorer is the area of the platform where rail networks identify, inspect and interrogate inspection data. All captured data is centralised and displayed here, and BYOD (“Bring Your Own Data”) can also be configured to show on the Explorer map. To access Explorer, go to Management> Explorer from the main menu. ![image-20260121-032857.png](media://57d5ce1f-459b-43f3-9442-01cb2d2f25ab) > ℹ️ **Where are my Rovers? ** > ℹ️ > ℹ️ In Version 3.0.0 and above, all the Rover information including telemetry, history and current location is now located in [Equipment](https://corridor1.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSD/pages/3322874170). > ℹ️ > ℹ️ ![image-20260105-235759.png](media://063578aa-7312-4e9e-9488-9286f1d6d5a4) ## Explorer Page Navigation ### Legend Assets: the sage green circles represent any entity found along the corridor used for PTC montioring for example derails, turnouts, diamonds, milepost signs, grade crossings (level crossings), signs or signals. Structures: the navy blue circles represent fixed structures with structural concern found along the corridor such as a platform, bridge or tunnel, signs, signals, retaining walls. Infringements: the yellow circles represent potential infringements, including clearances, vegetation, ballast excess and deficiencies etc. Posts: the cyan rectangles represent mile/kilometer posts and include the mile/kilometer post number. Selected: the orange circles represent the selected asset, structure, infringement or post. ![image-20260205-043555.png](media://fae8146d-0985-4645-b8b9-9595b97d3f78) ### **Map Display** The map display options sit over the Explorer map in the top left hand corner. Users can switch between light, dark and satellite modes depending on their visual preferences. ![image-20250415-010209.png](media://0903c34c-14bf-44c5-af24-4af3efb7e23f) The Cordel Connect Explorer page has several areas that can be pinned or collapsed using the (pin) icon. Explorer sections can also be dynamically resized to suit user preferences using the (resize) icon. ![pin and expand.png](media://060d3c90-bfd5-47a3-973b-f5638522dc4a) ### **Search** Users can search by Network, Location (latitude and longitude) or Entity. ![image-20251110-233419.png](media://1d3c501e-c920-4af3-8ff0-08e3f30b4fb6) Users can also perform visual searches by clicking anywhere on the network path and adjusting the search radius (represented with a pink circle). Any data related to the selected area will be shown in the search results section at the bottom of the screen. ![image-20251112-041910.png](media://608f6c61-c659-4cac-89a4-6ebbb5f25829) > ℹ️ Learn more about [how to Search in Explorer](https://corridor1.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSD/pages/3322873438). ### **Layers** Layers represent data that can be displayed or hidden on the Explorer map. The layers available will depend on the configuration of Cordel Connect, as well as the zoom level the user is at on the map. ![image-20251211-004900.png](media://ca787c1f-609f-461b-96e2-2304a6d0ab38) ### **Search Results** All data that meets the search criteria is presented as cards in the area below the Explorer map. This includes all [missions](https://corridor1.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSD/pages/3322873687), [structures](https://corridor1.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSD/pages/3322872625/3.0+Explorer+Map#%5BmediaInline%5D-Structures), [assets](https://corridor1.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSD/pages/3322873164/3.0+Explorer+Layers+Search+Results+and+Preview#Assets) and [infringements](https://corridor1.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSD/pages/3322872625/3.0+Explorer+Map#%5BmediaInline%5D-Infringements) of various types - dependent on configuration. Users can add missions to the cart for further processing using the (add to cart) icon; or view associated information (such as LiDAR point clouds or video footage) using the relevant icons. ![image-20260121-023247.png](media://4a666ece-7764-4088-9680-a3aff1052958) ### **Preview Information** Visual information that corresponds to the selected search result card is displayed in this area. The visual information shown here depends on the type of search result selected, but commonly includes LiDAR Point Cloud, Video or Cross-Sections. ![image-20260121-033317.png](media://f8e9d202-2c4e-4c7c-ba1d-7227c1d85f7a) > ℹ️ Learn more about [Layers, Search Results and Preview Information](https://corridor1.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSD/pages/3322873164) ## Related Pages [How to Search in Explorer](https://corridor1.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSD/pages/3322873438) [Layers, Search Results and Preview Information](https://corridor1.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSD/pages/3322873164) [Tickets](https://corridor1.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSD/pages/3322874030) [Missions](https://corridor1.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSD/pages/3322873687) [Structure Viewer](https://corridor1.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSD/pages/3322874947) [Rovers](https://corridor1.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CSD/pages/3322874184)
